On David Price and Tyson Fury Whether these giants can meet European and even World level remains to be seen. Of the two giants, Fury has all the advantages in youth, height, reach, experience and style and I would favour him over David Price. But that's not to say that David isn't a dangerman in his own right - he may well be. Who knows? He doesn't fight frequently enough for us to know, and will we ever know? I don't know. On Ricky Hatton I was an admirer of Ricky Hatton just as everybody else was. He had perhaps the most difficult straight run of opponents I've ever known in about his last 10 fights - certainly of any fighter out of the United Kingdom in recent times - in that he never seemed to be in there with an orthodox, defensively conventional and offensively textbook operator and yet was able to shine in world title-winning efforts many times. He was a very, very good fighter and now has the opportunity to become a great. The chap he's fighting - I believe he's a European, right? He must have that typical European style and that will be good for Ricky, who I consider to be an unorthodox offensive fighter. On Amir Khan Another fighter who has the opportunity to become a great. Khan is a case where he turned professional very raw though very talented and prior to learning all the fundamental technical defensive skills. He still needs a lot of time with a trainer to keep polishing him up but he will come through strong - history tell us that because he always has. On Andre Ward I know I would beat almost all of the fighters out there. Andre Ward would be an exception. Traditionally, strategic chess players and movers are that way because they aren't strong enough on the inside range - but Ward is the complete package, and winning a fight requires a game plan that exposes an incomplete package. So Ward would be difficult in accordance with that. I don't know if I'd have beaten Bernard Hopkins of perhaps five years previous, for the same reasoning.
:think Price has far more cumalative experience in Boxing than Fury. far, far more. 'You' cannot discount Prices vast Amateur experience in comparison to Fury's.
When just READING Eubank's thoughts, as opposed to hearing them and being distracted by his voice and dress sense ... he makes some very intelligent salient points :good Somewhat surprisingly!
Imagine Hatton fighting Khan or Brook for his comeback - that's kind of what Eubank did in taking the Calzaghe fight.
I agree with everything he says there apart from his opinion on Hatton. Hatton is finished at the top level imo.
The only part that I agree with is the Andre Ward part. The hatton comment about his run of fights is ridiculous.
He's spot on about Ward and Khan, can't agree with the rest though. Nah, Eubank had 2 fights in the middle east after losing to Collins. However his last 3 fights would be like Ricky taking on Brook then Maidana twice. If Hatton does that, and loses all 3 like Eubank did but goes down fighting then his legacy will be significantly enhanced.
